Rates of precious metals in futures trade dropped on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, as crude oil prices fell below USD 80 per barrel and as investors remained cautious ahead of the outcome of the US Federal Reserve meeting. The gold August 5 contract on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) opened with a drop of Rs 291 or 0.19 per cent at Rs 1,52,800 per 10 grams against the previous close of Rs 1,53,091. It fell further to touch an intraday low of Rs 1,52,301, a drop of Rs 790 or 0.51 per cent. Last seen, it was trading at Rs 1,52,556 with a drop of Rs 535 or 0.35 per cent.ย

“MCX Gold opened on a fragile note and is currently trading near the โน1,52,500โโน1,52,000 support zone, reflecting cautious price action amid ongoing volatility. A sustained move above โน1,53,500โโน1,54,000 could help stabilise prices and extend the recovery toward the โน1,55,000โโน1,55,500 zone. On the downside, a decisive break below the โน1,52,000 support level could drag prices toward โน1,51,000 and further toward the โน1,50,000 mark,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
